Description Ryan 2013-07-09 08:42:54 UTC
Description of problem:

In section 4.4.1 at item number 6 explaining the user creation process, it is inferred that the contents of /etc/skel are as follows:

.
..
.bash_logout
.bash_profile
.bashrc
.gnome2
.mozilla


They are in fact:

.
..
.bash_logout
.bash_profile
.bashrc
.mozilla
.zshrc

Some changes to /etc/skel references in useradd example

Some changes to /etc/skel references in useradd example:
    - Added the caveat 'contents may vary depending on installed applications' so readers aren't confused 
    - Adjusted timestamps in `ls -la` screen. All files should have the same timestamp at this point.
    - Removed .gnome2 from `ls -la` screen. This file is no longer shipped in /etc/skel .

Comment 5 Ryan 2013-07-10 06:42:31 UTC
an update on this one, the alignment of the items in the directory from your changes, is not even

Comment 6 Chris Roberts 2013-07-13 01:16:37 UTC

Comment 7 Pete Travis 2014-06-27 22:14:38 UTC
